Muscle: Likely deep muscles that act to support the spine. Physical therapy can be helpful

Additional info?: It’s important to know what type of movements reproduce the pain. Also are there any areas that hurt when you press on it? Do you have any numbness or weakness in your legs? Do you have problems urinating or defecating? If you thump on the rib cage in the flank area on either side does it reproduce the pain
